Abstract

This study examines the impact of varying panel angles and temperatures on solar cell efficiency using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Conducted in Indonesia, the experiment explores panel inclination (90° to 70°) and ambient temperature (39°C to 43°C) effects on power output. Results indicate that at 90°, power output ranges between 54W to 60W, while at 70°, it drops to 45W to 49W. Additionally, higher temperatures lower the output, with power decreasing from 54W to 50W as the temperature rises from 39°C to 43°C. The ANOVA results show that slope has the greatest influence on efficiency with an Fo value of 111.4151, followed by temperature (Fo=31.38365). The interaction between these two factors, while present, had a smaller effect (Fo=1.132075). These results, compared against critical F-values, confirm the significance of both variables in optimizing solar cell performance. © 2024 IEEE.
